Then she started off in search of her flowers. We dined in great style. My wife had got all her friends together. I was very gay, eating, drinking, and doing the honours of my table to perfection.

"No, it's too big and hasn't got a sharp point." Here Daisy, who had dived into her pocket, presented a neat little housewife with four needles in it. "You are the Posy who always has what we want," said Emil; and Nan resolved to have a needle-book in her own pocket henceforth, for just such cases as this were always occurring in her practice.
